The Napoleon Stone commemorates the Erfurt Congress of Princes of 1808, with the meetings between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I, which took place on this site. It was ceremoniously opened to the public in May 1911. With its design, it remains a very beautiful place to linger.

The choir tower church, whose core dates back to the 15th century, features a tower top from 1794 with a spire. Inside, there's an 18th-century baptismal angel.
